Saturday brings a trip to Glasgow and it's a new stadium for the many of the Rovers faithful. Having been to Hampden Park on various occasions over the years, Raith will play their first away game at the continuingly controversial Lesser Hampden this Saturday. Having balloted the support, 225 or so away fans will make the trip. Robbie, Blair and Scott caught up to chat about the much maligned stadium (any Spiders fans can skip right on to 6:44 in the recording to miss a discussion you've heard a million times before), Sean Crighton's tough yet still somewhat impressive start to the Championship season, before discussing the Rovers perspective going into the game.

An acrobatic 90th minute equaliser denied Raith Rovers a second home win on the bounce as Dougie Imrie's Greenock Morton took home what most spectators deemed a fair point for the visitors. Rovers had taken the lead through Jack Hamilton's first half header but failed to develop on their advantage before Kris Moore struck late in the game. Leslie takes the 'facilitator' role of hosting for the first time in this one, joined by Robbie, Carol and Duncan to discuss the match, the style of play and the atmosphere on a frustrating afternoon.

It's back to Stark's Park this Saturday as Raith Rovers welcome this season's draw specialists Greenock Morton to town.

Robbie is back with Blair and Greig to chat about the Ton being a more difficult task than many might appreciate, before moving on the talk over the mood music within the Rovers support. Should McStay or Should Dargo is back to round things off. A note on the Intro and Outro for this episode.

Just when it looked like October was going to be full of terrors, Barry Robson’s Rovers came back from the dead with a 2-0 win over Partick Thistle on Saturday. Duncan and Allan are joined by Ally Pilmer for an episode with a very different tone to the last post-match, and as well as covering the events of the game itself, they talk about the changes in Barry Robson’s approach, and wonder whether they over-reacted last week.

Welcome back to the Oh No No No podcast. Robbie is joined by Leslie and Allan to preview Saturday's visit of Mark Wilson's high flying Jags to Stark's Park. The Maryhill side arrive at Stark's in fine fettle having gone unbeaten in 10, and with Rovers being on the end of three consecutive 3-0 losses it's safe to say this is a slightly more nihilistic episode!

Rovers will be hoping that it's third seasons the charm this Saturday as they make the trip to the Albert Bartlett stadium to face Airdrie. Having gone through a tumultous summer, the Diamonds replaced fans favourite Rhys McCabe with former Rovers legend Danny Lennon to a muted response.

Robbie, Blair and Carol look ahead to the match and what to expect from the game, and whether Rovers might be in a position to mix it up. Should McStay or Should Dargo is of course included.

Over the last 30 years, John Greechan has forged out a career within both Scottish and British Sports journalism. Currently the lead correspondent for Hibs at the Edinburgh Evening News, he was formerly the chief sports writer at the Scottish Daily Mail and has authored 'Revolution', an in-depth look at the rise of Ange Postecoglu. John's love for football isn't just superficial having taken the time to become a UEFA-qualified coach and analyst. The foundations for this career took place right in the golden years are firmly local. Starting in 1992 as a trainee at the Fife Free Press, his stint in Kirkcaldy Sport coincided with one of the most remarkable stories in Scottish football history where he had a press box seat to watch the Rovers win two league titles, a cup run and into Europe. In the first of a special series Robbie sits down with John to talk about his first steps into journalism, working with Jimmy Nicholl's cup winning squad before discussing the European adventures to the Faroes Islands, Iceland and on to watching local lads go up against Bayern Munich and some of the best players continental football had to offer at the time.
